CD Reviews

Strong performances

dig-it-the-most | New York | 11/20/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Just a quick review, these are some of Duke's best late works. From "Far East Suite" and "The River". Here the arrangments are well balanced, and they play the works with authority and purpose. The only thing I would quible with is the double reed on Istafan. But the rest is ***** stars.

A good addition.
